Protect yourself and your privacy from hackers Underauction.com

Sadly, even panty world and its communities are occasionally subject to unwanted attention. This is normally inflicted by criminals who's intentions are not only damaging, but also extremely threatening to your privacy.

Over the last 48hrs, My Used Panty Store, Panty Hog and eBanned have been fighting Hack-Spam attacks from an illegal auction panty site called underauction.com.
These established sites were fast and efficient at dealing with the troubles, however, these criminals have been targeting other channels such as sellers personal websites, forums and emails.

How do you remain anonymous?

Question:

Hello,
 
I read about selling used underwear in a magazine a few days ago and it sparked my interest.  So I decided to google it, I found your website and you seem genuine and experienced so I thought I'd ask you a couple of questions about it.  I hope you don't mind!
 
How does someone start out with something like this and how do you remain anonymous?  Is it safe?
 
I think I'd really enjoy doing this, I'd really appreciate any advice you might have!
 
Amy


Answer:

Hello Amy
You can test the water and join MUPS, its an auction site which works  a bit like ebay. Alternatively you can set up your own website, but before you do, make sure you are committed as maintaining a website is time consuming and not free.
In terms of safely, selling used panties online is 100% safe as long as you're not planning to meet buyers. Don't use your real name but choose an online name instead, don't give out your personal details, use email services such as yahoo and hotmail to keep your IP hidden, don't give your home address or work address to strangers.
The safest way to accept payments if you are VERY privacy conscious is by accepting online vouchers such as Amazon, La Senza etc .. all you will need to give the payer is one email address of your choice for the vouchers to be addressed to. Does not get any safer!
BACS are also safe - please see the Panty University section to find out more.

Essentially, use your commune sense and your privacy will stay private.

Glossary of terms for used panties fetish

Question:

Hi Serena, is there a glossary of terms used by sellers? do you know if one exists anywhere? I was chatting with a new seller and mentioned panty stuffing and had no idea what it was. It got me thinking is there other terms like that of common practices that aren't well known to new sellers and buyers.
thank you
DrinkMoxie, MUPS

Answer:

There is! This glossary is  published on Lady Anna's Buyers Help site: http://ladyannaspanties.co.uk/glossary.htm
Make sure you bookmark it, it has tons of useful information about the used panty fetish.



From Lady Anna's Used Panties Buying Advice Website

When it comes to buying used panties it helps if you can speak the language. If you think fullbacks is a position on a sports field or a wankerchief is another name for your boss then you need to study the lists below.

Panty Styles

String

Usually the skimpiest member of the panty family. A tiny triangle at the front and just a couple of wisps of string at the back. A perfect choice if you are partial to butt musk.

Thong

Usually has a bit more material than a string. The strings are now narrow strips of material but they still sit deep in the butt crack. Perfect for those who like butt musk and some pussy cream. Bikini

Usually has more material than a thong particularly across the butt, and usually quite low on the hips. Perfect for those who prefer more material to soak up those natural scents and flavours - without butt musk.

Fullback

These panties have a full quota of material to the bottom part of the panty. There is less chance of them riding up between the butt crack and more chance of extra pussy cream. Fullback panties are also popular if you want some 'extras'. See below.

 

Panty Materials

Most panties are either cotton, polycotton, satin or silk. Most panties will have a cotton gusset.

Silk Panties

These are usually the most expensive panty. Expect to pay quite a bit more than you would for satins and cotton. These are a natural material.

Satin Panties

Not as expensive as silk but more expensive than cotton panties. This is a man made material which is extremely shiny and soft to the touch. Satin material has a glossy front and a dull back and can be made from polyester and/or nylon, often a mix of the two.


Cotton/polycotton Panties

Whether the panties are 100% or a polyester/cotton mix, they will probably be sold as cotton, a natural material. These will probably be the cheapest type of panty you can buy. The price the seller pays for her panties are often reflected in the price she sells them for as worn items. For some buyers the quality of the panties is extremely important, for others the contents. It's just a matter of taste.

 

Panty Types

How would Sir like his panty?

Standard Panty

A standard panty is worn for 24 hrs and masturbated in. Some sellers will charge extra for them to be masturbated in so double check the tariff!

All the panties listed below are on top of the standard wear - so all should contain pussy cream plus whatever else you have asked for from below. Note though, that not all sellers will sell everything listed. Please check.

Butt musk

Rub your finger along the crease of your butt, right at the top. Now smell. That is butt musk. Sellers who offer butt musk will rub their panties in that area to make sure they pick up that gathering of sweat and scent.

Pussy Cream

This refers to the natural discharge from the vagina. Its quantity and consistency can depend on age, time of the month, type of contraception, or diet. There is no guarantee how much but a good seller has some tricks up her sleeve to ensure there is as much as possible.

Creampie Panties*

These panties will have a mixture of pussy cream and the seller's boyfriend's sperm. Usually worn right after sex to make sure they soak up everything.

Stuffed Panties*

These panties are stuffed into the vagina for a period of time. This is often done whilst masturbating because the panties give that nice full feeling and the seller doesn't want any of her juices wasted.

Ejaculation Panties*

Some women ejaculate when they cum. The ejaculate is the liquid that fills up the G-spot and when she has a vaginal orgasm the liquid is expelled. Not to be confused with urine. The seller will use her panties to mop up all the liquid.

Extreme Wear Panties

Standard wear is 24 hours. Most sellers will wear panties for up to 3 days for an additional price. Any amount of wear over 3 days is usually referred to as extreme wear. Not all sellers are prepared to do this. Expect to pay a hefty premium for extreme wear panties.

Ovulation Panties

If a woman is of child bearing age and doesn't use hormonal contraception she will ovulate. The discharge usually thickens up and is a lot creamier and copious during ovulation - which lasts for approximately 4 days only per monthly cycle.

Period Panties

These are worn when the seller is on her period, when she bleeds. You must discuss with the seller how much blood is enough. Some buyers want a hint of pink, some want them so it looks as though something was slaughtered in there.

Poo Panties

As with period panties - be specific. Do you want a little skidmark, a huge skidmark, a little patch where the seller has used her finger to poke her butthole after having a poo? Don't be embarrased. If the seller sells these then she has probably heard it all before.

Pee Panties

As with the two panties above - be specific. Just one dribble, a few dribbles, peed through the gusset. Sopping wet? Most sellers will allow to dry before they pack the panties up and send them. This prevents too much ammonia building up whilst they are in transit.

Pregnancy Panties

These can obviously only be sold by pregnant sellers. They are quite rare and may be sold at a premium, after all a seller is only pregnant for so long. Some buyers believe that pregnant women have a particular and highly desirable scent.

 

Other items

Sellers often sell other items along with their used panties. Popular items include;

Socks
Stockings
Tights/Hose
Bras
Bra/panty sets
Nightdresses
Pyjamas
Pillowcases
Sellers should always advise how long their standard wear is for such items.

Fetish items

You wil often find a number of sellers offering some of the items below as fetish items.

Pussy Pen*

The pussy pen is any type of pen inserted into the vagina to be coated in thick pussy cream. It is then carefully wrapped in a plastic baggy for you to sniff it, lick it, and then use it. Just be careful who you lend it too *wink*.

Pussy Pop

Just like the pussy pen a lolly pop of some description is inserted into the vagina. The buyer can lick and suck that lolly knowing exactly where it has been.

Pussychiefs/Wankerchiefs

For some buyers it just isn't practical to have an unexplained pair of panties in his possession. The pussychief is an innocent alternative. The seller will use the handerkerchief to gather up all her juices, usually by wearing it folded up into the gusset of her panties. The buyer can then wear the hankie in his breast pocket or trouser pocket for a quick 'dab of the nose' without anybody being any the wiser.

Panty Pads

These are usually worn by women who want to ensure their gussets aren't stained in their favourite panties. Some buyers would rather have panty pads than the panties themselves.

Panty Towels

These are sanitary towels, usually worn when the women is menstruating (bleeding). A very popular item for period fetishists.

Tampons

Worn inside the vagina when the woman is menstruating. Again, very popular for some fetishists.

Champagne/pee

Some sellers will sell their pee in small plastic bottles. You may have to specify if you want morning pee (usually very strong) or day pee (usually weaker). If pee is too strong for an individual's tastes all he need do is dilute it with water.

Champagne wipes

These are hankerchiefs dipped in pee. Be specific as to how much pee you want them dipped into.

Panty Mistress

Some sellers offer Panty Mistressing as a side line to the more usual panty selling.

Some Mistresses are nuturing and will send out sissy packs that include panties, a teddy bear, some crayons etc. This service usually appeals to;

Panty Sissies

Panty sissies need loving guidance and support in their enjoyment of wearing panties.

Other Mistresses enjoy humiliating their Panty Slaves by sending them tasks with the panty orders.

Panty Slaves

Slaves may be instructed to wear the panties to work and provide photos as evidence, or instructed to order toenail clippings or tampons to add to their humiliation and need to be dominated by a powerful Female.

Toenail Clippings

Foot fetishists not only adore used socks or stockings but often request toenail clippings. The seller will collect her clippigs, pop them in a tiny baggy and send them out knowing they are going to a good home.

 
Some items of a particular nature are considered biohazard items and as such are illegal to post under most international postal laws. Most sellers are obviously very wary about posting such items and may only post within their own borders.

There is probably a dozen more fetish items that I don't know about. Some sellers may sell the same product but under a different name. Hopefully this has given you an idea and will help you work out what it is you are looking for.

Selling used panties with Webs.com

Question:

Hello there I am new and I was selling my worn panties with Webs, but I have received notice that my account is now frozen. They didn't tell me why but I suppose selling used panties is illegal? How do you do it?
Thnx Anna

Answer:

Webs froze your account because its luckily that their T&C state that you cannot use them to upload/sell adult related material.  Most free services will have a NO ADULT CONTENT policy, if you plan to sell used panties you ought to consider paying for hosting, or look for 'adult & commercial' friendly services. I say 'commercial' because even tho some blogs allow you to upload adult content, you still cannot use them to generate revenue.

You can look at sensualwriter.com or tumblr.com, they are free, but make sure you familiarise with their T&C

As far as selling use panties being illegal, different countries have different legislation, you need to consult your local law expert to find out is selling panties where you live is legal or not.

 

Someone is using my photo

Question:

just wanted to ask if you know, somebody has used my profile pic on here  for there profile on ebare, as another member on here has told me, is there any way i can stop that? im guessing not?   sorry to bother you with this question. paul xxx

Answer:

Hi Paul
You need to contact ebare and tell them their member is using your property without your permission. They will ask you for evidence, so make sure you send them the original photo as proof that you are indeed the owner. This is normally enought for a reputable site to take the matter seriously.
Alternately, you can serve the hosting company with a DMCA notice (The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998).

Always watermark your photos. Your work is protected by the copyright laws, however this does not stop thieves from using it, abusing it and reselling it.

Blood on the gusset? No thanks

Question:

Hi Serena
I hope you can advice on a problem I am having. I have purchased a thong from a seller, when I unwrapped if I could see spots of blood on the gusset. I don't like this sort of thing and I don't know what I should do, I don't want to upset the seller.
Thank you
Mr M

 

Answer:


Clearly bloody panties isn't what you have ordered, and I don't blame you for being disappointed.
You should contact the seller asap, tell her that you have ordered her worn panties, not her menstruated panties, explain to her that the blood spots on the gusset isn't what you have paid for.
You are perfectly in title to ask for a replacement or a refund, hopefully she will do right by you and send you a non-bloody pair.


 

I am in need of more income

Question:

Dear Serena,
I am a 23 year old mother of three. Don't get grossed out I'm not the typical mom. I don't have any stretch marks and I weigh 110 and am a size 2. I am in need of more income or risk loosing my house and having my kids live on the street. I want to know everything about selling my panty's online. How do I do it? What are the best ways to go about starting? Everything. Please help me if you can. Thank you for your time. Shawna

Answer:

Hi Shawna
Selling used panties on line is unlikely to prevent any risks of loosing a house.
Most sellers do it as a hobby and because they enjoy being part of the panty fetish community, they make enough money to treat themselves to the occasional pair of fancy shoes or pay their phone bills, its every rare (but not impossible!!) that a panty seller can manage to support a whole family on such little extra income.
You can try to list your panties on My Used Panty Store, its an auction site and it works a bit like ebay,  but to be honest, I don't get the sense you have a genuine panty fetish so I'm not sure how well the community will respond. Please don't beg, its really off putting.

Also you might want to check the Panty University section here on PH.

Panties worn by a larger woman

Question:

Hey Serena,
  I am taking steps to become a panty-seller.  I am a panty-lover, but I have no experience with sex on the internet, and I need an insider's opinion.  I am a large woman. 5' 4" 185 lbs, the only panty sites I have seen were marketing smaller women.  Is this indicative of the panty-loving community, especially the panty-buying community?  I want to know if I will have buyers for panties worn by a larger woman before I go through the rigamarole of setting up a website, alertpay, etc.  What do you think?
Thank you muchly,

Zig

Answer:

Hello Zig
The panty community welcomes anyone with a panty fetish, regardless of their sizes.
There are loads of successful larger ladies selling their panties as there are plenty of buyers who prefer to buy from BBW.
You don't need to set up a website just yet, you can test the water on MUPS where you can list items for auctions, get to know the community and let the community get to know you.
Its free, its fun and its a good way to start - setting up Alertpay is free too, this is the most used online payment service so I would reccomend it.

I hope to see you there!
Serena




   

Is ebanned a panty site?

Question:

I have just joined and still learning about etiquette and reputable places where to sell. I had listed 5 pantys on ebanned but only 1 had sold leaving me out of pocket :(
I dont know if I should list more now, do you reccomed it to sell pantys?
Thank you for your time Serena! I love the useful info on here too!
*Hot* MILF*


Answer:

Ebanned is an auction site,  people  sell panties and lingerie items as well as things like used diapers, used condoms and blood related items. Do I recommend it to sell used panties? Personally I don't. In my experience the majority of people with a genuine panty fetish prefer to trade in a free community based and less distasteful environment. Ebanned is not a community, its a money generating corporate site notorious for fakes and scams effecting both sellers and buyers,  sellers don't always receive payments for sold items resulting in loosing their listing fee, and buyers seem to be getting stiffed more and more by fake sellers.
If you want to sell your used panties on a free and supportive site, ebanned is not the best place for it.

I hope this helps.


   

Panty Domination

Question:

Hi Serena,
I have a quick question for your Ask Serena column, if you don't mind answering a newb! So a couple of customers interested in my goods have asked me for things apart from my panties - one has asked if he could call me after the purchase and talk to me while sniffing them, another has asked if he could be my e-mail panty slave.
I'm ok with someone being my panty slave, but I'm not sure if I'm ok with one of my customers calling me personally. How does one be my panty slave? And what is a polite way to decline requests from customers?
Thanks for taking my questions. Look forward to hearing from you!
-Vee

Answer:

Hi Vee

Chats are something that sellers do offers at a price, these normally take place via things like voice instant messaging or video chats, if you are not comfortable with such service, simply tell your buyer this isn't something you are interested in offering at this time.

Now, traditionally panty slaves want a Panty Mistress, to be Panty Mistress you need to enjoy dominating (via email) your slaves with your panties.
Some slaves look for a Mistress to simply buy panties regularly from, other slaves look to be humiliated or sissified by their Mistresses -  it really depends on how your slave prefers to be dominated by You. Does he like to dress up in your panties? does he enjoy being humiliated  by wearing your panties on his head in public?

Essentially slaves will want to serve You and archive whichever goals (tasks) you have set for them, making clear that you will not spend time setting up tasks for free.

Showing my face

Question:

i have seen you on the panty hog site, also on panty trust
now i did not see any pictures of your face......  i would also like to be a seller, as i love taking photos of myself and buying lingerie.  its something ive thought about for over a year now, and i think im ready to take the next step.  i was worried about showing my identity tho. soooo do i have to show my face in order to be successful?

thank you for your time

ember

Answer:

Hi Ember.
You don't have to show your face unless you are comfortable with it, most buyers appreciate that sellers prefer to keep their identity private and they won't hold it against you. It is true that photos with heads chopped off are a little less appealing, so you could try to take full shots and cover your face with your hair, a mask or even a pair of panties!

Some buyers do prefer to purchase from ladies who's face is showing, and they are also prepared to pay a little extra for the privilege. But its up to you and you only how much you are willing to share with the community.

I have never shows my face and probably never will.



   

Maybe I have bad luck?

Question:

 I bought panty+ pic from her about 2 weeks ago and she said she will ship item by March 8th and pics via email that day but she said she didnt have time so she said she sent items March 10th. I didnt get pictures that day. So I emailed her and she told me that she was at school so she will send me picture when she comes home today. I still havent got pictures or items so I emailed her what's going on.
This is what I got-
 
"Hey Sorry, my friend has got my digital camera with the photos on :/ but I should be getting it back soon. Sorry I've not been online, I've been working and had university work to do as well.I will send the pics as soon as I get my camera. My friend's had an operation because she had an abcess so I don't know exactly when I'll get the camera. I'm sorry but right now I can't do anything, and I don't take kindly to you having a go at me, this is not my fault."
 
So now I dont know when I will get pictures. I've been scammed by this kinda story before. Could you give me some advice about this situation? I just dont understand her behavior.

Answer:

The vast majority of newbie are young girls who want to earn some extra cash and share a bit of fun. They spend 20 minutes setting up their auctions, without realising that selling panties (or photos) isn't as easy as they thought.
Keeping on top of emails from buyers wanting updates on their orders is time consuming,  when it gets too much you'll hear the average excuses:  'my cam broke, my dog chewed my panties, my flatmate stole my laptop', shortly after most will disappear leaving you with an empty pocket.
Her excuse is unfortunately very common, and even if there was a slight evidence of true, this is nobody's fault but her own. She took your money, therefor she is fully responsible for the delivery of whatever goods you have paid for. If she can't deliver, she should do the right thing and send you a refund. 

There is no way we can predict how a new seller will behave, the best one can do is to use a bit of common sense and hope for the best!
On a personal note, I recommend  buyers to engage with Panty Trust Verified ladies. A panty seller who commits to verify herself will also commit and care about the concerns of her buyers.
